Go to 'Video' -> 'Files' and list some files on the screen. Then leave it alone for a while and check back later, you *might* see the same as me, the clock has not changed in the time it has been left. I believe it also did it with the weather page up, but not sure. Will check tonight.

Hmmmm....OK, thanks for trying it out. Maybe it's the projector then..... If I move the mouse when the time appears to have stood still, it instantly displays the correct time again. Perhaps after a while of no activity a frame buffer just displays the last active frame until 'something' wakes it all up again. I'm puzzled.

I have tracked this down to the screensaver function in Kodi. I set screen saver to 20 minutes and everything updated on the screen for 20 minutes and then it all froze. So at least I know where to look. I had the screen saver set as 'dim' but I will have to have another look tonight....

Found that mine has 'somehow' changed to 'Black' instead of 'dim' - I have put it back and we will see how it goeas but I am now in the middle of trying to set up shared mysql for all pi boxes - -- Put on your tin hats!

Well, it was certainly the cause of the 'feature'.... But in looking into it there is another issue as well. When I select the weather to display on the home page, it does show up, but randomly the Kodi logo eventually returns in its place......

Oh do not worry, if there are any problems to be had, you can bet it will be me that gets them!

Are you using profiles? Same issue happens to me if I log off from my favorite profile and log on again.

ARRGGGHHHH!!!!! - I spent hours today trying to find a fault with the VNC server and guess what? - It was this Kodi BUG again!!!

It seems that when it goes into 'Black' screensaver, it also stops all VNC connections from having any control. Sure you can connect with VNC and see the remote screen, but the mouse will only move and not allow any 'click' commands. It also shows a small cross as cursor no matter what you select in TVNCViewer. I didn't have the view only mode selected before anyone suggests that!

Just thought I'd mention it as it might save someone else a few hours looking in the wrong place. (But no way to remotely cure the problem I could find). I needed to attach a screen and do it all from there. Just setting back to 'Dim' screensaver solved the issue! Humph!.
